Of the thousands of psychology papers I’ve read for this podcast, these are five I think every 20 something should know about. Today, we’re exploring the research that could change how you think about feeling behind, getting rejected, finding love and chasing success. We discuss:


The two types of quarter life crisis and what each can teach us


Why your 20s don’t have to be the best years of your life


How rejection can increase your desire to take control


Why your friendships deserve as much attention as your romantic life


The hidden cost of tying your self-worth to money

Five studies, five massive themes for our 20s and so much to take away. Listen now!

478. The 5 most important psychology studies for your 20s

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/cfbbdc71-60f3-47bd-aab2-b4fb00ccbf2a/transcript

Why do certain things stop us in our tracks? A beautiful sunset, a painting, even the way light shines through the window in the morning. Where does this sense of beauty actually come from? Does it exist objectively in the world, or is it something our brains create? In this episode, we explore the psychology behind what makes something beautiful, and how the brain processes aesthetic experiences.

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We explore:
•        The function of the aesthetic triad
•        Why experiencing beauty can feel rewarding
•        Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder?
•        Why familiarity, culture and personal experience can change what we find beautiful
•        How nature generates a sense of awe
•        Why we see beauty in ugliness
•        Why we need to look for more beauty in the everyday

477. The psychology of beauty 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/2582e345-9594-4284-8e44-b4f800cecc25/transcript

In a culture increasingly organised around productivity and individual choice, many of our repeated behaviours have become about efficiency rather than meaning. In this episode, we explore why even very small rituals - a meal, a walk, a song, a candle - can give shape and significance to ordinary life, particularly in our 20s.

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We explore:
Why rituals aren’t just religious or spiritual
Why performing rituals is an integral part of human behaviour
How rituals create belonging and maintain relationships
How predictable rituals can provide an anchor during uncertainty, overwhelm and periods of change
Why our 20s may particularly benefit from rituals
The importance of ritualising endings
